I have been meaning to mention this since our trip the first week of December. Every time you get on a Tram at the parking lots they mention that if you need assistance with your vehicle to walk out to the end of the line you are parked in and wait for a Security Van.
I accidentally locked my keys in the trunk of our rental car. As with all the rental cars we have used they put all the keys for the car on a wire loop that you cannot remove any of the keys from.
When I stopped the Security Van for assistance they kindly provided me with the phone number to a locksmith. That is the help they provide you.
Called the locksmith and he came to the Epcot lot in about 30 minutes. He was able to open the car for us and thankfully the keys were in the trunk. Cost me $40.
Had they not been in the car and he had to make a key it would have been at least another $100. Many of the new car keys have a computer chip on them that inflates the cost.
Had I had AAA the locksmith would not have charged me.
If you are renting a vehicle a tip I would suggest is either taking a pair of pliers in your luggage that will allow you to separate the keys and put one with another family member or ask one of the clerks at the food courts to cut the key ring for you. The have side cutter pliers that they cut the security tabs off the Disney Mugs at the food courts.
